About me / CV

Picture by Fabrizio Maltese

Hi!

I am a
stop motion filmmaker who lives in Luxembourg. The very first time I got an
insight into animation was at the age of 11. My father showed me how to animate
an inert object by moving it frame by frame with a high8 camera. He also
presented me very short super8 films he produced when he was younger, as well as time lapses of clouds. I
was really impressed but as a child you tend to get bored very quickly and
often change activities. Thus, after several attempts, I stopped doing films
and preferred spending my free time doing other things. Ten years later, when I was
21, I started to remember, during lessons at Art school, how cool it was to
enliven objects and plasticine. I started working in animation again and was
fascinated.Something I really want to mention is that I have been an autodidact in this
domain and that I never attended any animation classes. I learned a lot during
shootings and could not help myself being amazed by what you could do. I prefer
stopmotion animation to any other kind of animation, because you give life to real objects or puppets by physical contact.

Building things or giving a
shape to objects has become a
passion of mine and I really wanted to attend classes in industrial
design but at some point I realised that I wanted to animate things or
characters which led to the fact that I wanted to learn more about animation.
Finally, I have always been extremely
passionate about stop motion shootings and have liked travelling around
for work.
